[create John Witchel]: "Back then we planned to be huge from the outset. So we built this monster platform on BEA, Sun and Oracle. We had huge dedicated connectivity pipes. We had two full racks clustered and fully redundant. We had E450’s with RAID-5 and all 4 CPU slots filled, E250s, F5 load balancers...the cost of keeping that system on was enormous. The headcount to keep it humming was enormous too. The truth is, we could have run the whole company on my laptop using a cable modem connection."
